Problem in configuring tomcat and apache

I am configuring tomcat and apache through mod_jk on Linux. In the server.xml file in /TOMCAT_HOME/conf, I have added this line: <Listener className="org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig" modJk="/TOMCAT_HOME/mod_jk/mod_jk.so" />

And when I restart the tomcat, I get this error: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create path to config file: /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.15/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf
